Sesame Workshop, in a statement responding to the online petition seeking to convince Sesame Street to out Bert and Ernie as gay.

I agree. I like the idea of Sesame Street doing something with a gay/lesbian couple (maybe some muppet has two mommies or two daddies), but let’s let boring ol’ Bert and happy, noisy Ernie continue to just be puppet friends. Ernie is only supposed to be like seven or eight years old anyhow.
Did this actually need to be said?
very good! except now I’m kind of expecting an outcry of EQUAL MARRIAGE FOR PUPPETS! PUPPETS ARE PEOPLE TOO! MARRIAGE...
but…they are gay together.
